This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X75CM — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X75CM in place of this model. The replacement upgrades to a riveted rolling-packed body and CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors (the MAL used CS1-M / DS1-M).
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X75CM
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X75CM is a single acting, pull (spring extend) aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 75mm stroke, G1/4 ports and a fixed rubber bumper. Air drives the pull (work) stroke and the spring returns the rod — it rests extended on air loss. This model is discontinued; the drop-in replacement is the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X75CM.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X75CM
The AirTAC MTAL40X75CM is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder with a 40mm bore and 75mm stroke. Air retracts the 16mm rod, while an internal spring extends it. It delivers a usable pull force of 439.4N at 0.5MPa and 650.4N at 0.7MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL40X75CM, matching the G1/4 port, CM round-end cover, and force class.
This SKU lacks the -S magnet option and cannot accept a position sensor. The MTAL uses threaded covers and older CS1-M/DS1-M switches, whereas the MTBL upgrade features a riveted rolling-packed body and CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. A fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and the fail-safe home position is fully extended.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X75CM Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X75CM |
|---|---|
| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X75CM |
| Bore size | Ø40 mm |
| Stroke | 75 mm |
| Acting type | Single acting, pull (spring extend) |
| Port size | G1/4 |
| Rod thread | M12×1.25 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.2 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 50 – 800 mm/s |
| Cushion | Fixed rubber bumper |
| Max standard stroke | Up to 100 mm |
Single-acting minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa (the air must overcome the return spring). Do not apply an external load during the spring return stroke. The AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X75CM carries the same single-acting ratings.
Usable Pull Force (Ø40mm)
| Pressure | Pull force (net of spring) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 439.4 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 650.4 N |
Usable single-acting force after the return spring — lower than a same-bore double-acting cylinder. Size with a margin.

Where the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X75CM Is Used
Injection Mold Ejection
Pulls an ejection pin back inside a 40mm injection mold cavity against 439.4N at 0.5MPa, letting the spring safely push the pin out to release the part on air loss.
PCB Stencil Wiping
Retracts a 16mm wiper blade frame on a solder paste printer, using the spring-extend fail-safe to lift the blade cleanly off the stencil when the 3/2 valve exhausts.
Packaging Flap Tensioning
Draws back a paper-feed tension arm in a corrugated box folder, relying on the fixed rubber bumper to absorb the 75mm stroke impact without adjustable cushioning.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X75CM with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X75CM
Replace this MTAL40X75CM directly with the MTBL40X75CM. Confirm the 40mm bore, 75mm stroke, G1/4 port, PT thread, and CM round-end cover. This no-magnet SKU cannot take a sensor, unlike the -S variant. Minimum operating pressure is 0.2MPa. Apply no external load on the spring-extend stroke, as the fail-safe home is extended.
To step down, the 32mm bore neighbor provides 261.2N pull at 0.5MPa. Stepping up is not available as 40mm is the largest standard size. For any stroke at or near 100mm, manage side loads to prevent rod bending.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X75CM (same bore/stroke/force)
- ✓ Same pull direction and extended fail-safe home
- ✓ Min 0.2 MPa; no external load on the spring return
- ✓ Sensor: swap CS1-M/DS1-M → CMSG/DMSG/EMSG
- ✓ Confirm back cover (CA / U) and thread (PT/NPT/G)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.2 – 1.0 MPa (min 0.2 to overcome the spring).
- check Apply no external load on the spring return stroke.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Front/rear covers are threaded — not for field disassembly.
- check For new builds, specify the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL40X75CM instead of this discontinued model.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL40X75CM FAQ
Yes, the MTAL40X75CM is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL40X75CM, which matches the 40mm bore, 75mm stroke, G1/4 port, and CM cover. The MTBL upgrades the body to a riveted rolling-packed design but retains the same force ratings.
It is single-acting pull, spring-extend. Usable pull force is 439.4N at 0.5MPa and 650.4N at 0.7MPa. The fail-safe home is extended. This specific CM version has no magnet and cannot take a sensor.
